Style Files: Carly Rae Jepsen Drops ‘Boob Tassels’

The path to being comfortable comes with some trial and error. Jepsen recounted a recent learning experience with some accessories that didn’t quite work out.

“We had a hilarious mishap the other day because we had these, like — I would almost call them boob tassels,” Jepsen said, laughing. “I don’t know, there’s no other word for it… The idea was when I spun, I would have these streamers everywhere coming down from my neck.”

The one thing Jepsen and her costume designer didn’t account for was enthusiasm.

“[It] was a great idea until I brought out my little telephone cord mic and was doing some spins and really getting into the song. I looked down and I realized that the tassels have entwined themselves around the microphone cable and I can’t unhook it. So, I’m literally attached — at the boob — to my microphone cable.”

Jepsen had to be cut out of the costume and continued the show.

“I would say, a note of advice: have fun, don’t wear boob tassels. It’s not a good idea.”
